The Energy Storage Obligation (ESO) specifies that the percentage of total energy consumed from solar and/or wind, with or through energy storage should be set at 1% in the 2023-2024
One of the key highlights of Vietnam''s revised Power Development Plan VIII (PDP8) is the significant increase in the targets for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
India Business News: SECI has invited bids for 2,000 MW of grid-connected solar projects with co-located energy storage, aiming to stabilize India''s renewable energy grid.
Chinese businesses in Vietnam, such as Jinko Solar and Trina Solar, face the US tariffs of nearly 245 percent and 202 percent, respectively, following the US Government''s announcement in April 2025.

Several dynamic elements are influencing the development trajectory of Vietnam''s commercial solar storage landscape. Regulatory clarity and grid integration
Deployment of Rooftop PV scheme under a tender mechanism in India to aggregate 35 MW of grid connected rooftop solar systems. The tender covered rooftop installation on 291
This far surpassed the original 2020 target of 850 MW (Government of Vietnam, 2016) and is even approaching the tentative target of 18,600 MW of installed solar power
Under the plan, the total installed capacity is expected to be 60 GW in 2020, 96 GW in 2025, and 130 GW in 2030. Vietnam’s solar potential is illustrated in figure 1.1. Revised PDP 7 places greater emphasis than the previous PDP on renewable energy development.
Such financial hurdles have challenged the government’s ability to use fossil fuels to expand electricity supply in step with Vietnam’s fast-growing economy. Contrastingly, solar and wind power’s lower capital requirements and faster development timelines are well-suited to meeting Vietnam’s near-term energy needs.
Owing to the current contractual structure proposed by the government, most solar projects in Vietnam are expected to be financed under a corporate loan or at 100 percent equity, with refinancing possible at a later stage.
The numbers should be read more as an indication of how the parameters affect tariffs than as a representation of the current situation in Vietnam or as a prediction of a likely tariff. Holding other parameters equal, the level of solar irradiation has a large impact on prices—as much as US$0.02/kWh for sites in Vietnam.
A well-organized solar auction in Vietnam in 2019 could result in power purchase agreements with prices of US$0.055–0.065/kWh over 25 years (in levelized real terms and with an appropriate allocation of contractual risk).
Solar power is an increasingly attractive electricity generating option for Vietnam thanks to recent cost reductions, fast construction, and the contribution solar power can make to ensuring energy security and environmental sustainability.
